X-Digital Systems XDS receiver
QUICK START GUIDE
REVIEW THIS GUIDE IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR XDS RECEIVER. ALSO, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE CALLING SUPPORT.
• Make all satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio connections
prior to applying AC power to the XDS receiver.
• Westwood One strongly recommends the use of a Phase Locked
Loop (PLL) LNB for your new XDS receiver. The Local Oscillator
(LO) stability of your LNB should not be above (worse than)
25kHz.
• If this XDS receiver is designated to supply DC power to the
LNB at your dish, be sure to turn on the LNB voltage on the
front panel menu AFTER the LNB is connected (See Satellite RF
Connection section 1.1 on page 2).
• Westwood One urges stations to use an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) for the XDS receiver for equipment protection
from power spikes or brownouts. Also consider lightning
protection if you are located in an area susceptible to frequent
lightning storms. Surge suppressors do not provide sufficient
protection.
NOTE: Appendix A contains a front panel menu map that can help
navigate through the XDS receiver settings and configuration.

1. MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
Satellite RF, data (LAN/WAN) and audio must be properly
connected. Please follow the steps below:
1.1 SATELLITE RF CONNECTION
Your XDS receiver is pre-tuned to the Westwood One carrier on AMC-8. Once the
satellite RF is properly connected and you apply AC power, the XDS receiver should
automatically tune and lock to the Westwood One carrier.
A. Connect the satellite RF to your downlink
Your new XDS receiver is delivered with a parts kit that includes two 6-foot RG-6
cables and an L-band splitter that allows DC power to pass through one port.
B. Verify the XDS receiver is tuned and locked to the WESTWOOD ONE
carrier
Once the satellite RF is properly connected, apply AC power to the receiver and
verify as follows:
• If the SIGNAL LED is green then the receiver is locked to the WESTWOOD
ONE carrier and the LCD screen will display:
(Cumulus Media / WWO Networks logo)
EB ##.# AG ### (# = numerical value)
EB should be above 7 and AG should be between about 40 and 60 for
proper operation.
• If the XDS receiver does not acquire the Westwood One carrier, the red
FAULT LED will illuminate steadily and the LCD screen will display:
(Cumulus Media / WWO Networks logo)
EB __._ AG ### (# = numerical value)
Verify proper RF connections and the XDS receiver should automatically
lock to the carrier.
To manually tune the XDS receiver to Westwood One carrier on AMC-8:

1.2 AUDIO OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Once the XDS receiver is locked to the Westwood One carrier you can verify audio
functionality as follows:
A. Verify audio reception
Initially the XDS receiver headphone output and all the audio ports are programmed to
receive the Test Channel.
Connect a set of headphones and verify you can hear the Test Channel.
To manually program the XDS receiver headphone to output the Test Channel:
o At the main screen with the Cumulus Media Networks logo, press the SET
key, then the left or right arrows to reach Audio Ports. Press SET.
o Press the left or right arrows to reach Headphones. Press SET.

B. Verify audio ports
Your new XDS receiver is delivered with a parts kit including four mating DB-9
connectors with shells.
The analog audio outputs for your services appear at the four DB-9 connectors on
the rear panel. Wiring pinouts are the same as on the older Starguide receivers:
AUDIO OUTPUT – DB9M
Pin Signal Signal Pin
1
L+ L- 6
2
GND GND 7
3
- - 8
4
GND R- 9
5
R+
Rule: Each DB-9 connector carries one radio program stream, either mono or
stereo. If the program is mono, the same audio appears on the left and right pin
pairs. In most cases, the left and right sides of a stereo channel are no longer
used by Westwood One to carry unrelated mono programs. Other networks and
distributors may use different rules.

Assigning a Static IP address to the WAN Port:
If you elect to connect your receiver in a firewall zone called a “DMZ”
(demilitarized zone) or ‘“Outside” the firewall where it can see the internet
directly, connect your network cable to the receiver’s WAN port. You must
assign a static IP WAN Address, WAN Subnet, and Gateway. Follow the
“Assigning a Static IP address to a LAN Port” instructions above to go to the
appropriate WAN menus and change settings as desired.
NOTE: If your network requires the use of a proxy server, please refer to the
online user’s guide located at your affiliate’s website. Refer to Section 2 on page
7 for instructions on how to login to you your website.
B. Test connection to the Westwood One NOC
o At the main screen with the Cumulus Media Networks logo, press the SET
key, then the left or right arrow keys to reach Setup. Press SET.
o Press the left or right arrow keys to reach Network. Press SET.
o Press the left or right arrow keys to TEST NOC. Press SET.
o Press the NOC softkey to perform the test.
The test will take a minute or two. You will get a SUCCESFULLY CONNECTED
TO NOC message if your IP settings are correct. Otherwise you will get a
CANNOT CONNECT TO NOC message and you will need to adjust your IP
settings (on the receiver, or in your network’s switches, routers or firewall) until
the receiver can connect to the NOC.
To troubleshoot, you can use the PING softkey to verify your receiver can locally
connect to your network gateway.
1.4 AUTOMATION RELAY CLOSURES
There are two DB-37 connectors on the rear panel which together contain a total of 32
mappable relay (or contact) closures to drive your station automation.
Your XDS receiver is delivered with a parts kit including two mating DB-37 connectors
with shells.

If you or your automation vendor has developed a program that can read Westwood
One Netcues directly, you may get the Netcue serial stream from pins 15 and 10 on the
Relay A port on your XDS receiver (see pinout above). The “NQ TxD” pin is RS-232
data with no flow control or handshaking. Baud rate is set by default to 9600 bps 8N1.
THREE CHARACTER NETCUES:
If you currently use a Netcue/Data card in your Starguide receiver, any 3-character
Netcue that Westwood One sends out can be mapped to any contact closure you wish.
Contact
our Technical Services department or contract Help Desk to help you map your existing
Netcues to the same relay pins on one of the DB-37 connectors on your new XDS
receiver.
2. VERIFY PROGRAMMING AND ACTIVATE
In the XDS system each program, not each channel, is permissioned and labeled for
station use. Therefore, instead of tuning to a channel to find a program, you will
Revision J 9/30/2014 R830000-1060 Quick Start Guide, XDSPRO Receiver
Page 8 of 11
schedule the programs to appear on each output port. You will need to review your
schedule and activate your receiver with your stations programming.
Initially your receiver only outputs the Test Channel on all ports, the front panel LCD
shows a “Please Activate” message and the orange UPDATE LED in flashing.
You must edit and activate the schedule of the programs that you want to appear on
each audio output port of the XDS receiver through the WESTWOOD ONE Affiliate
website at
http://myxdsreceiver.cmneng.com
To login you will use the XDS receiver’s serial number as the username and a password
generated by the receiver. To find this password:
o At the main screen with the Cumulus Media Networks logo, press the SET
key, then the left or right arrows to reach Setup. Press SET.
o Press the left or right arrows to select Serial Number.
o Press the PWD softkey to display your password.
Once logged in, you may setup a friendly password to the site and also review and
approve your receiver’s setup (Time Zone, Schedule, Relay Mappings, etc).
Adjust Time Zone
Setup the appropriate time zone for your receiver
Review Schedule
You will see the default schedule for every station your receiver supports. Please modify
and verify your schedule as desired.
RULE: Each call-letter radio station at your site that carries any Westwood One
programming or commercials from this XDS receiver must be assigned to an XDS
receiver port and each port must be scheduled to output the programs you need.
NOTE: Your new XDS receiver contains about 32 hours of audio storage which you may
use to “tape delay” network programs and schedule them to play later. You can
schedule the same XDS receiver port to “play back” a mixed schedule of live and
delayed programs.
Revision J 9/30/2014 R830000-1060 Quick Start Guide, XDSPRO Receiver
Page 9 of 11
